Summit Viper SD - Mossy Oak
The Viper SD is the most popular stand in the Summit lineup. Its lightweight and strong aluminum build make it the climber of choice for hardcore hunters. The padded backpack straps coupled with the upper and lower frames ability to pack tight against each other allow for maximum portability no matter how far the distance. Once you get there, stay for a while in the suspended foam-padded seat with cushioned backrest and padded armrests. The closed front allows for simple sit-and-stand climbing and doubles as a gun and crossbow rest. The large 20”x36” aluminum platform offers plenty of foot space to stand up for a bow shot, too. The Viper SD features Summit’s Dead Metal technology that allows you to move in the stand without creating game-spooking unnatural metal sounds. Padded seat, rail and armrest are decorated in Realtree camo for maximum concealment.

Most comfortable and functional stand on the market....even better with a few easy mods.
What I like: most comfortable stand on the market, lightweight as far as climbers go, cable wrap=no pins to lose. What I don’t like: shoulder straps are a joke. I bought an XOP Extreme Outdoor Products Tree Stand Transport System and adapted to the stand. Allows you to carry all the weight on your hips and not on your shoulders. I can comfortably carry the stand for miles now. Fall arrest harness is nothing fancy, but functional. Connect the two leg holes with a carabiner between the legs. I noticed that after only a couple of weeks use the cable shrink wrap was getting chewed up pretty badly (photo) and that the cable seemed to be getting hung up when inserting or removing the excess cable from inside the square tubing. Upon examination I noted the tubing was squared off on the end (photo) and that there was a two square holes (top and bottom) inside of each tube (photo), which the cable increment sledges were getting hung up in. So I made two mods. I beveled the ends of the tubing to help guide the cable into the tubing (photo) and I filled the square holes inside the tubing that the cable was getting hung in with JB weld epoxy. Now the cable just slides right in. Can’t believe Summit hasn’t already addressed these issues with these easy fixes. Also, buy the footrest attachment. It’s a VERY nice to have. Also, I removed the arm pads as they made the stand somewhat difficult to mate together and then put 1/4 inch self adhesive neoprene on the stand top, which holds my crossbow very securely and keeps it from slipping (photo). Seems like a lot of things to fix, but now it’s perfect....for a lifetime of enjoyment.2ND SEASON UPDATE: The seat on this thing is a blessing and a curse. BLESSING: once you are in the tree, you have to fight to stay awake it’s so comfortable. Height adjustability is nice. Also, when configured for transport, it makes a nice pocket to securely stow clothing, gear etc., in. CURSE: that three fold seat is a pain in the arse to stow and unstow, not to mention all of the metallic “pings” the seat S hooks make as you pull the seat back through the stand before separating or mating the upper and lower halves of the stand. I have seriously considered cutting the top backrest off the seat pad....but I haven’t yet. Still a great stand because comfort is at the top of the list after weight and sturdiness. A stand that you can’t sit in for any length of time is worthless.OBTW: I figured out why Summit hasn’t addressed the tubing issues mentioned in my original review.....because they want to sell you more cable shrink wrap. After I made the tube mods, my shrink wrap damage decreased significantly.

Putting it together was pretty simple - the back straps setup was not intuitive, but everything else was easy to figure out.
Unfortunately I didn't get to use it - purchased it via Amazon Warehouse items - new in box - they had a great deal on them back on prime day in June. It sat boxed in my garage until archery deer season started for me last weekend - and when I pulled it out, noticed it was severely bent on the upper (seat) portion of the stand. It's not usable in this manner, and while I did mostly get a refund from AMZN, I would have much preferred to receive a good stand as now I can't get one in time for this years' hunting season.
Final thought on climbing stands - always use the tether that keeps the foot rest from falling out separately from the upper seat portion - this stand comes with a good one inside the box. My previous stand did not, and I lost the foot portion while descending a tree in the dark my first year using it. I had to hang from the harness in the tree to retrieve it and thankfully was able to do so.

Great product for the money. Made in America. Lightweight aluminum. What more could one ask for? Summit Viper has the best reviews and after exhaustive research I believe it's the best for the money.Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2021

Assembly I recommend doing in an evening when it is dark out, so you can go out the next day without wasting time.
The morning after I test tried in the backyard on a fir tree ( you want a speeces of tree with thick bark, fir is perfect).
I ordered a set of stabilizer straps as well as it decreases the risk of the top platform sliding down when releasing pressure and make the stand way more secure in the tree, tho from my experience with climbing fir trees (thick bark) i won't even need those straps, because the teeth really dig into the tree and holding the platforms very securely without any weight on them... really have to yank them out to get them free.
Once you get both pieces of the stand on the tree stand on the platform, !ALWAYS USE THE TREESTRAP AND SAFETY HARNESS!- hook everything up, adjust your stirrups for comfort level and boot size, lastly make sure seat platform is secure and check for seat height - adjust to your comfort level. All these adjustments take place at about 1-2ft height!
When everything is setup correctly for you, start climbing, it is a joke how easy it is and how much fun!
Take a 7" pocket folding saw with you because you will most likely need it, just be careful when cutting branches (unlike me) because you could cut into your safety tree belt, duhh!
I am 150lbs, 6'1" skinny tall, but fit and the weight lugging the stand around is not too awful, tho I would not want to pack it 2 kilometers... at that point I would start looking into a treestand carry system with a waist belt for this Summit, as the backpack straps will not provide enough support for long hikes.
Also my hunting backpack fits right on to the platform to transport, I just use the incl. Straps for the stand.
The seat is comfortable, the weight is not bad (I was thinking the steel viper or viper SD, i am happy i chose the viper SD), it is roomy enough for me up in the tree, it fits great on the back of an ATV, harness is comfortable and quickly put on/taken off and very adjustable for bigger guys, the cables are good quality but the stand has sharp edges where the cables go into the frame which might take off the rubber coating if you are not careful, paint quality seems ok on the stand but if scratched on metal it will leave a mark of bare aluminium (can always be repainted)...
I am very happy with this stand! Top notch, get one now and quit waiting like I did, also arrived in 3 days just in time for the long, -thanksgiving, weekend.
Happy thanksgiving!
Ps: to those wondering what kind of harness is included, it is just a basic seatbelt material harness, plenty of adjustment for any body type that could fit into the treestand. Quick on/off, and silent. I wish the strap that ties to the tree would be a bit longer as it gets your face too close for my liking while climbing, I might order a better harness all together, but hey, it does the trick to get you up into the tree safely.
